Anastasia Matte Lipstick Set Review + Swatches

Hello guys! Welcome back to our blog. Today I want to review for you the Anastasia Matte lipsticks that I’ve tried in this set and I actually really enjoy. This post will include swatches of all four as well.

Overview:

  • This kit is discontinued I believe, but I found mine at Marshalls for $14
  • cruelty free!
  • Contains four mini lipsticks in varying shades of pink from Anastasia’s matte lipstick line.
  • Orchid, Cotton Candy, Stargazer, Plumeria are the shades included and they are all available in the full size.

Promise: Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Lipsticks are full pigment lip color with a smooth, ultra-matte finish. (From the Anastasia Website)

These definitely have an ultra matte finish, they look like you’ve applied a super matte liquid lip, but they are not nearly as drying. My only complaint with these is that this formula is not super creamy and smooth, it almost feels like you’re applying a powder/cream lipstick, it won’t glide across your lips cleanly. With a little bit of patience you can build them up to a gorgeous gorgeous matte finish though. They are comfortable, not drying at all and they are pretty long wearing.

1. Anastasia Modern Renaissance Palette

I can’t think of any beauty youtuber who doesn’t have this palette! I bought it a little over six months ago, and honestly, it does live up to the hype. The shades are very very blendable and so gorgeous. If you like warm tones, I am certain that you will love this palette.

2. Tarte Park Avenue Princess Bronzer

I saw this on so many channels of girls who have super fair skin like I do. It is the perfect tone of bronze, and it isn’t too orange, nor is it too dark. It is really perfect. I would say if you have the money to spend on this bronzer, it is beautiful and I think you will love it!

3. Physicians Formula Highlighter in the shade Pearl

You guys know I am obsessed with this! It is such a gorgeous super light highlighter with a bit of a shift. The formula is so soft, it almost feels like a cream, and they have good shades for a variety of skin tones. I’ve seen swatches and reviews of these highlights everywhere, and I also think these are worth the hype!
